Default Re: Sony TC-377 Parts Help

Motor Pulley
Rubber idler wheel that goes between the pulley and flywheel.

I've looked everywhere for these parts online but they seem to be near impossible to obtain. Nobody seems to sell reconditioned, second hand or even reproductions!

Can anyone offer any advice or help before I look in to purchasing another deck as spares (seems a waste to do that for just two parts!)


Regards,
Max.
Hi Max, I have a complete machine in pieces I’d be willing to part with. I started to dismantle with the intention of refurbishing but a few Revoxs got in the way . It all worked fine but, in truth, was a bit smelly. It had spent most of its life playing background music in an Indian restaraunt!
PM me, I’m sure we can come to an arrangement.
Mike
